A) As you can see this section starts with the program # and horse name. The
next item is the purse for today's race ($48k in our example horse above). Next comes the distance of
today's race in furlongs (10F) then track (AQU), race number, date, and
finally we have the PRO AVERAGE rating (95 in the example). The PRO AVERAGE is a simple
but powerful rating. It is the average of the best 2 out of 3 PRO ratings
for each horse. You will read more about this exciting new rating below.
B) and C) The first item in this section is (Days). These are the days between
each race and/or workout. In the example above we see #4 JUDGE'S CASE had
a 6f workout 3 days ago and a race 13 days prior to that then another race 22 days prior
to that, etc. Next you will
see the track (AQU) and the track condition (MY) for muddy. (FT) is for
fast, (SY) is for sloppy, (GD) is for good. For turf races (FM) is firm,
(YL) is yielding, (TF) is good and (SF) is soft. Under the
(Workouts) item is the distance of the horse's workouts. If he ran a
bullet work, which is fastest of the day/distance/track, you will see a double plus (++). If the work was not a bullet
but was ranked among the top 20th percentile you will see a single plus (+). Under (Purse) is the purse for
each of the last 3 races he has run in. Next is the distance (Dis) of
those races (in furlongs) then the track surface (S). The (D) is for
dirt, (d) is for inner dirt, (T) is for turf and (t) is for inner turf.
The next 4 items are 2ndC, Strc, Finish and FP and they apply to the horse's
last 3 starts. The (2ndC) is the horse's
beaten lengths at the 2nd call, (Strc) is the beaten lengths for stretch call,
(Finish) for beaten lengths at the finish. If these numbers have the
negative symbol (-) it indicates beaten lengths, if you see the plus symbol
(+) it means the horse was in the lead . The numbers following the (+) or
(-) is the number of lengths in 100ths. Examples: - 4.75 means
the horse was 4 & 3/4 lengths behind the leader . A + 2.25 means the horse
was in the lead by 2 & 1/4 lengths, etc, etc. (FP) is the horse's finish position
in the race. A 1 means he won the race, 2 means he finished second, 5
means he finished 5th, etc. Now we come to the good stuff, the PRO rating
the horse is given for the race.

The PRO rating takes into consideration
the following:
final time,
track variants and pars,
weight,
wide trips,
troubled trips,
pace,
post position,
quality of competition and more. Why is all this important?.
Let's set up an example . For horse A and B we will say all things are
equal as far as actual final time, track, distance and track variants:

HORSE (A) ran a ground saving trip from post 1. He clocked a 1/2 mile in :45.2 and
carried 108lbs under a bug boy. He clocked a 6f finish time in 1:10.3 HORSE (B) started from tough post 10. He clocked the 1/2 mile split in a sizzling :44.3.
He had a bad trip going 6 wide on the turn then steadied in traffic while carrying
123lbs. He also clocked a 6f finish in 1:10.3

Now which horse ran a superior race? HORSE B obviously and our PRO rating will indicate
such. Horse B would get a much higher PRO rating than HORSE A even though they ran the
identical final time on an identical track, distance and variant. These differences make more
of an impact as the distances get longer. For example in 2 turn races a horse could be hung
out wide on both turns and that high weight becomes more of a factor at the route distance.
Also a very fast early pace can really burn a horse out. Conversely a horse loose on
the lead loping along setting soft split times gets an easy trip.

D) section has a series of ratings as follows:
(RA) stands for RECENT ACTION . Most horses will get an RA rating of 0 because of our
strict criteria placed on this figure. Any horse that has an RA rating (80 will be minimum)
should be considered in good form by recency standards. If you like a longshot and he has
an RA rating of 80 or more it could become a HUGE PLAY!. (Winl) is a rating that indicates
how game a horse is in his career. If he likes to win he'll get a high Winl number.
(Winc) is the same as Winl only it looks at current year only. If a horse has a higher
Winc than Winl it probably means he is having a career top year. The (Ftime) rating indicates
how well the horse's final times have been this year and the last 3 races. The (Mud) number
indicates how well a horse can run over a wet track based on pedigree for handling wet tracks
and his past efforts on wet tracks. The (Turf) number will only be displayed if today's race
is scheduled for the turf. It is based on pedigree for the turf and his past accomplishments in
turf races. (Dist) is a figure that indicates how well the horse likes today's distance.
(Track) number indicates how well the horse likes today's track. (Trainer) is a special
trainer rating. If this rating has a ($) next to it this measn the trainer has scored with
horses at big prices recently. If you see a (+) it means the trainer is one of the best and
wins at a high percentage. (Jockey) is a special rating for the horse's jockey today.
The (Angle$) item is very specialized. We have hand picked and made a list of some money
making angles. If a horse has a 1 it means he fits the criteria for 1 of these angles,
2 means he fits 2, 3 means he fits 3, etc. Many horses will have a 0 so pay close attention
to those that have a 1,2,3,4,5, etc. Finally the (CASH) rating is a figure made from weighted
variables of all figures in section D). CASH stands for (Comprehensive Assessment of
Statistics and History). It is comprised of many factors that horseplayers have a hard
time quantifying so you will see a good share of longshot winners with a high (CASH) rating.
